Abstract

This project, led by Texas A&M University, developed a science-based field laboratory in the Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Shale Formation to determine the stimulated reservoir volume created by the fracturing of multiple wells. Utilizing newly developed monitoring solutions, the team delivered comprehensive high-quality field data on the extent and morphologies of productive fractures created from these wells. Advanced field monitoring was complemented by laboratory testing on cores and drill cuttings, and coupled modeling for design, prediction, calibration, and code validation. The Austin Chalk/Eagle Ford Field Laboratory (ACEFFL) was hosted by SM Energy, which provided access to the wells of opportunity.

Oil in Alaska North Slope Gas Hydrate Reservoir: Micro-CT and Flow Simulation Insights into Permeability

Gas hydrate-bearing sands on the Alaska North Slope (ANS) host minor volumes of crude oil whose impact on formation permeability has never been quantified relative to a gas hydrate reservoir system. Here, we combine in situ pressure-core microcomputed-tomography (μ-CT), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), gas-chromatography–mass-spectrometry (GC–MS), scanning-electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Stokes-flow simulation to (i) quantify oil saturation, (ii) infer its source, and (iii) evaluate its influence on permeability after gas-hydrate dissociation. μ-CT and SEM-EDS imaging identify the host sediment as silty, with some grain-coating clay present. Eight representative 3003-voxel subvolumes extracted from a preserved pressure core (Core 15P-3c, from the B1 sand (unit B), HYDRATE 02 Geo Data Well (GDW), 886.96–887.29 m measured depth, MD) exhibit porosities of 0.34–0.37 and an average oil saturation of 0.09 ± 0.03, in comparison to an independent TGA-based estimate of 0.16. GC-MS fingerprints obtained from an adjacent depressurized core (Core 17P-1, 891.37–891.44 m MD), together with oil pore habit revealed by μ-CT, suggest that the oil is partly native but also includes contributions from mineral oil-based drilling fluid contamination. Further analysis of oil–porewater interactions and flushing tests confirms that native oil saturation in the analyzed samples ranges from 0.04 to 0.08 with an average of approximately 0.06, and the oil is highly immobile. Flow simulations demonstrate that the native oil saturation of ≈0.06 reduces permeability by approximately 50% due to both pore blockage and increased flow-path tortuosity. These findings reveal the potential presence of native oil within the ANS gas hydrate reservoir and suggest that future simulation models may need to account for its impact on permeability to improve long-term performance predictions of gas and water production.

Quantum Enhanced Fiber Sensing for Oil and Gas Applications (Final Technical Report)

The major goal of the project was to develop a quantum sensing approach compatible with current infrastructure in the oil and gas industry that could provide a quantum enhancement, with a focus towards pipeline leak detection. The proposed approach to achieving this goal consisted of the use of quantum states of light to enhance the sensitivity of fiber optic sensors beyond the classical limit. To address the limitations of existing commercial leak detection, the project focused on the study of two technologies: distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensors. The initial phase of the project centered around the identification and mitigation of dominant sources of classical noise to enable operation at the classical shot noise limit (SNL). The second phase focused on the use of quantum resources to obtain sensitivities beyond the classical SNL. The final phase sought to combine quantum noise reduction techniques with advanced dynamical classical noise cancelation approaches.
